Asus Philippines Announces New Asus Fonepad 7

Asus Philippines recently announced the new Asus Fonepad 7 (FE170CG). However, unlike the first Fonepad 7, this model has a lower resolution display (1024×600 vs. 1280×800) and lower storage (4GB vs. 8GB). I guess that’s the trade off for the P5,995 price tag.

This actually looks decent. And don’t let the dual core CPU fool you. These Intel chips perform better than some quad core processors. Personally though, the 4GB storage is a deal breaker for me. But the price is attractive for what it offers.
